Depth of Field Post Processing Causes Color Banding
I'm using the built-in depth of field post processing effect but it is causing a lot of obvious color banding when it's blurring dark colors. I have a skybox that I re-color for a day/night cycle and I have included a picture of the sky transitioning from day to night. It's not just the skybox that has this issue, any dark colors that are blurred together have the same banding effect. I have played around with the HDR settings and tried rendering with multiple cameras but nothing seems to make any difference. Any help is appreciated, thank you.
